Reply to "SACC Power Steering"

Good feedback so far. Considering other applications I've investigated I'm pleasantly surprised that there is absolutely no negative feedback on the self centering question that I raised?

Larry, EZ states that they are using one of two Japanese suppliers of the motor assembly. Yes you can get either to sell you a new one but the issue is they don't want to sell you just one.



It's very difficult to tell exactly which unit EZ or SACC is using but working on this for about 4 years now, on and off, both units resemble very closely the Toyota Versa. SACC's pictures may be of an earlier model since the location of the electronics cover plate is on the right/driver's side, not on the top left like the Versa's.

What IS significant is that the Japanese units will work without the control box, just three wire hook up. The go into a safe mode and provide a "steady 43 mph" boost.

The only reason I see for the control box is to ramp down boost as speed increases but you need a VSS for that to work.



The Renault that I am seeing looks larger but I will admit that it is difficult to know the size details exactly without having them in front of you. The Prius is the same size as the Versa but the motor is oriented on the right side. It is so tight under the dash that is a significant factor. The motor needs to go on the left side.

They all look small until you trial fit one into a Pantera. Even the ATV's are too large to fit easily.



It's also interesting that you guys ARE using the potentiometer where Scott remarked that he didn't feel he needed to adjust it at all. It "felt fine to him left on full". Knowing him I feel safe in assuming that he tested it at excessive speed.



I'm just review everyone's remarks here. Not criticizing it at all. I guess I was always the PITA in the class either openly or secretly questioning authority? Some things will never change. A Pantera is kind of a rebels car even in a group of non-conformists?
